Despite finding some of the biggest stars in the world of pop it seems the search for the next winner may have got off to a slow one.

The X Factor audition tour has been heading up and down the UK in the hopes of finding the next biggest breakthrough artist.

The auditions have been the topic of discussion in the press recently as although the show launched the careers of artists like Little Mix, One Direction and Olly Murs, hardly anyone turned up to show off their singing voice in Margate.

However, there weren't exactly queues when the pop up opened at the shopping mall at 11am.

A spokeswoman for the X Factor told getreading: "We have no idea what the turn out for today will be.

"It's impossible to give numbers as it's always so different everywhere you go, but the great thing about these tours is that it gives people a chance to audition who wouldn't normally make it to the London auditions."
